We have Arnold Schwarzenegger to thank for it.

I regret my vote for him in 2003. CA should have kept Gray Davis.

Trump's new Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, the former CEO of Exxon, publicly supported a carbon tax before he was nominated.

The reason?

Tillerson claims that Obama’s CO2 environmental regulations are so complex, and so entrenched, that we can only get rid of them by imposing an international carbon tax.

That’s why I quit the Republican Party.

If they’re going to emulate the Democrats, we might as well get the real Coke.

Who needs them?

The globalist curtain falls and reveals another tax grab. Obamacare, global warming, flooding us with muslims, socialism run wild.Scams to line the elites pockets and reduce us to serfdom. Like termites, they never cease.

Trump should have arrested them for treason. They are a who’w who of 50 years of globalist destruction of U.S. sovreignty. James Baker is an enemy of America. Augustus would have exiled him to a one-man island.

Her in Indiana, we now have the Super-Majority Republican Statehouse foisting a $.10/gallon gas tax and higher registration fees to fund road projects.

And while their solution to the problem is even more horrid, the Democrats are now chanting the line “No New Taxes”

Why do Republicans have a death wish?

But more CO2 will cause the trees in Bohemian Grove to grow bigger.
++++
And what happens when these trees grow bigger and when the forests grow bigger?

Answer: They suck up ever increasing quantities of See-Owe-Too. Right out of the atmosphere. I’ve read that the per tree absorption can be as much 48 pounds per year.

Money for the NWO so they can gain total control over the masses in
America and remove what’s left of our Constitution.

The ability to tax is the ability to enslave.

We need to get rid of income tax and reform our country as it is . Most laws and the UN are unconstitutional concepts and should be ejected. Unjust (evil) “law” is “null and void” in the American jurisprudence system——whoops-—it was prior to 1912 and the elite Jekyll Island takeover who created all the “wars” to destroy our Constitution.

The only “Carbon tax” I’d go along with is:

The more CO2 you produce....the lower the tax.

And, of course, none of them will work to unshackle nuclear and hydropower as a means of avoiding the tax.
